TY - JOUR PY - 1988// TI - Monoamines, glucose metabolism, aggression towards self and others JO - International journal of neuroscience A1 - Roy, Alec A1 - Virkkunen, Matti A1 - Linnoila, M. SP - 261 EP - 264 VL - 41 IS - 3-4 N2 - The evidence is reviewed that violent and suicidal behavior is associated with a deficiency of the serotonin system and that individuals with poor impulse control tend to become hypoglycemic during an oral glucose tolerance test, and have low levels of 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid in the cerebrospinal fluid. It is postulated that serotonergic deficits may predispose individuals to poor impulse control, disturbance of glucose metabolism, alcohol abuse, violent behavior and suicide.
